Sweet Dreams

One day while wandering the aisles of the library, I found a really nice book about painted furniture. It gave me a bunch of ideas. Trying to remember everything in my head these days is just impossible ( I'm just now able to tell the difference between a Transformer and a Megazord), I snapped a few pictures, for my eyes only. Then the other day, while trying to purge some of the plethora of magazines that I own, I found a beautiful bedroom. Since it was just about the only thing in the whole magazine worth keeping, I very carefully pulled the pages out ~ to go into my "Dream" binder. So I figured since I was going to show you that, I would share the other pictures with you also. The following pages are from Painting Furniture: Decorating Ideas and Projects.

A beautiful antiqued sideboard. Not sure if you can see it too well, but the wallpaper is called Mythology and I remember see Poseidon on it. Cool.


I would give anything to find a cabinet and paint it like this! I just love this.

Like the big post on the bed. Again, all the furniture is painted.


Now, I'm thinking this was from a different book. But I would love to have one of those paintings with the big ole farm animal.

Can you tell I'm on a red and white kick lately? Notice the fabric-covered head board and the lace dust ruffle. I've also been noticing lots of things made of lace.

Even as a girl, I would have LOVED to have a room like this!! This is just beyond words.

And now for my dream bedroom set. First let me say that in the magazine they were leaning towards a beachy theme, hence starfish and such. Don't get me wrong, I grew up on the Gulf Coast, nothing against the beach. But I would rather pull the fabrics out and go more...prairie, Texas coast. It's just so hard to put a name on what I like. **sign** Just look at the pictures.

Sorry it's so fuzzy, couldn't get the scanner to work so had to snap a pic with the camera and got backlight. What I am loving is the bed. The duvet, the quilt, the pillows...all of that.
Love it. Love it. Love it.

Oh, did I mention that I loved this bed...*sigh* Sweet blissful dreams.
